Jeb, I pretty much agree with your last paragraph... Sony gives independents a shot, and covers their butt, at the same time. Put that way, it makes perfect sense.
I still wonder, though, if the proofing/formatting service will end up being the "filter" of content, deciding what's good enough and what isn't. I have a hard time believing Sony would want a perfectly-proofed story that was still badly-written garbage on their store. Who decides?
(And could that be the reason I have not had a return contact from Sony? Has someone looked at my site already, decided they don't like my stories, and crossed me off some list? Sure, that's paranoid, they may just be busy, they may have issues with me selling my books on my own, or my no-DRM choices, or my politics... okay, that's even more paranoid... but without hearing from them, my mind is free to run rampant over this! See my point?)
